Parma Hilton Historical Society (PHHS) offers monthly presentations and guest speakers covering a range of topics related to local history or of general interest. These meetings are held on the second Monday of the month and are free and open to the public.
January’s presentation will be on the Erie Canal. 2025 marks the waterway’s bicentennial, and there will be many events throughout the year to celebrate. The PHHS welcomes Dan Cody on Monday, January 13, to speak on the “Young Lion of the West: The Erie Canal and its Impact on the Growth of Rochester.” Attendees will hear how the canal helped Rochester and the local area grow. The presentation will be held at 7 p.m. in the Ingham Room at the Hilton Community Center, 59 Henry Street.
